1,2,3

Three uses for a quirky object. Picked up a pair of iron stirrups from a flea market in Lhasa a few years back. Although I had no idea about how I will use them, their texture and shape caught my fancy.

After lying around unused for some time, the stirrups have been hung on a mango-wood hook by a bay window. Posting pictures of three different ways I use them.

I love the way you have put different carefully-selected elements against that window! Especially those woven baskets with a shell-lining around the rims (are those from India?). I like both flowers and the tea-lights on these, would have probably tried a bunch of fragrant Jasmines, with a part of it hanging down from the holders :)!

Hi Chandan, I've been visiting you blog for about a year an half nd I have to say, your photography just keeps getting better and better! I love it. What a beautiful and creative way to use stirups. Who would have thought!
